Fig. 1 shows a flow chart of a neural network training method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, as shown in fig. 1, the neural network training method includes:

in step S11, inputting the sample dynamic visual information of the sample scene into a first reconstruction network for processing, and obtaining a first reconstruction result, where the first reconstruction result includes a multi-level first feature map and a first reconstructed image;

in step S12, inputting a sample color image of the sample scene into a second reconstruction network for processing, and obtaining a second reconstruction result, where the second reconstruction result includes a multi-level second feature map and a second reconstruction image, and the sample color image and the sample dynamic visual information are obtained at the same time;

determining a composite network loss of the first reconstruction network and the second reconstruction network according to the sample color image, the first reconstruction result and the second reconstruction result in step S13;

training the first reconstruction network and the second reconstruction network according to the integrated network loss in step S14,

wherein the first reconstruction network is configured to generate a color image from dynamic visual information, and the second reconstruction network is configured to train the first reconstruction network.

According to the neural network training method disclosed by the embodiment of the disclosure, the first reconstruction result of the sample dynamic visual information obtained by the first reconstruction network is close to the second reconstruction result of the color image obtained by the second reconstruction network through training, so that the first reconstruction network can obtain the color image with higher trueness degree based on the sample dynamic visual information. Because the frequency of the dynamic visual information is higher than the acquisition frequency of the color image, the acquisition frequency of the color image can be improved by processing the dynamic visual information through the first reconstruction network, the tracking of the motion track or the motion of a moving object is facilitated, and the tracking effect is improved.

In one possible implementation, the neural network training method may be performed by an electronic device such as a terminal device or a server, the terminal device may be a User Equipment (UE), a mobile device, a User terminal, a cellular phone, a cordless phone, a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), a handheld device, a computing device, a vehicle-mounted device, a wearable device, or the like, and the method may be implemented by a processor calling a computer readable instruction stored in a memory. Alternatively, the method may be performed by a server.

In one possible implementation, Dynamic visual receptors (DVS) are sensitive to the rate of change of light intensity, and each pixel may record the amount of change in light intensity at the pixel location, and when the amount of change exceeds a threshold, a positive or negative going pulse is generated, i.e., Dynamic visual information.

For example, an Event Camera (Event Camera) is a dynamic visual receptor that can be used to capture the rate of change of light intensity for a preset scene. When a target in a preset scene is abnormal or performs some actions, the light intensity of the target presented in the event camera can change to a certain degree, and the event camera can sharply capture the change to obtain dynamic visual information.

In one possible implementation, the frame rate of the dynamic visual receptors is higher than that of a normal camera or webcam, for example, the frame rate of a camera or a conventional webcam is about 100fps, while the frame rate of the dynamic visual receptors is about 1,000,000 fps. Therefore, in the time interval between two frames of images shot by a common camera or a camera, a plurality of frames of dynamic visual information can be shot.

In one possible implementation, since the acquisition frequency of the color image is low, it is difficult to capture the color image of the target object in the time interval between the acquisition of two frames of color images, and the target object is also tracked by the color image. While the frequency of acquiring the dynamic visual information is high, a plurality of dynamic visual information can be acquired in the time interval between the acquisition of two frames of color images, and therefore, a more color image can be acquired based on the dynamic visual information, for example, in the time interval between the shooting of two frames of color images, a color image is generated by the dynamic visual information for tracking the target object in the time interval.

In one possible implementation, although the dynamic visual information is obtained frequently, the amount of information in the dynamic visual information of a single frame is small, and the pixel data is sparse. The characteristic extraction of the dynamic visual information is difficult to obtain characteristic maps with rich information, and the reconstruction of color images based on the characteristic maps is also difficult.

In one possible implementation, based on the above problem, the dynamic visual information may be processed through a first reconstruction network for processing the dynamic visual information to generate a feature map from the dynamic visual information. The first reconstructed network may be trained prior to processing using the first reconstructed network. For example, the first reconstruction network may be aided in training by a second reconstruction network for processing color images. In an example, a first reconstruction result obtained by processing the dynamic visual information by the first reconstruction network may be approximated to a second reconstruction result obtained by processing the color image by the second reconstruction network, that is, a feature map obtained by processing the dynamic visual information by the first reconstruction network and the generated color image are approximated to a feature map and a color image obtained by processing the color image by the second reconstruction network, respectively, so that the first reconstruction network can generate an image close to a real color image. In an example, the first reconstruction network comprises a recurrent neural network and the second reconstruction network comprises a convolutional neural network. The present disclosure does not limit the type of the first reconstruction network and the second reconstruction network.

In one possible implementation, the training may be performed by sample dynamic visual information and sample color images of the same scene. The method can acquire a plurality of sample color images and sample dynamic visual information for the same sample scene at the same time, and train by using the sample color images and the sample dynamic visual information acquired at the same time.

In one possible implementation, in step S11, the first reconstruction network may include an encoding sub-network and a decoding sub-network, the encoding sub-network may include a plurality of network levels and may be configured to acquire feature information of the dynamic visual information, and the decoding sub-network may include a plurality of network levels and may be configured to perform decoding based on the feature information and acquire the first reconstruction result, that is, obtain the multi-level first feature map (i.e., the feature map output by each level of the decoding sub-network) and the first reconstruction image.

In a possible implementation manner, in step S12, the second reconstruction network may also include an encoding sub-network and a decoding sub-network, the encoding sub-network may include a plurality of network levels and may be configured to obtain feature information of the color image, and the decoding sub-network may include a plurality of network levels and may be configured to perform decoding based on the feature information and obtain the second reconstruction result, that is, obtain the multi-level second feature map (i.e., the feature map output by each level of the decoding sub-network) and the second reconstruction image.

In one possible implementation, the purpose of the training is to enable the first reconstruction network to generate an image consistent with the color image based on the dynamic visual information, and thus, the first reconstructed image generated by the first reconstruction network may be more realistic and accurate by reducing a difference between the first reconstruction result of the first reconstruction network and the second reconstruction result of the second reconstruction network and reducing a difference between the second reconstruction image and the color image. That is, the difference between each level of the first feature map in the first reconstruction result and the corresponding level of the second feature map in the second reconstruction result is reduced, and the difference between the first reconstructed image and the second reconstructed image is reduced, and the difference between the second reconstructed image and the color image is reduced. In this way, the accuracy of the feature map output by each level of the first reconstruction network can be improved, thereby further improving the fidelity and accuracy of the image generated by the first reconstruction network.

In one possible implementation, before training, both the first reconstruction network and the second reconstruction network may have errors, i.e., the first reconstruction result output by the first reconstruction network and the second reconstruction result output by the second reconstruction network are not consistent, and/or the second reconstruction image output by the second reconstruction network is not consistent with the sample color image.

In one possible implementation, in step S13, the integrated network loss of the first reconstruction network and the second reconstruction network may be determined based on the sample color image, the first reconstruction result, and the second reconstruction result. As described above, there may be a difference between the first reconstruction result and the second reconstruction result, and there may be a difference between the second reconstruction image and the sample color image, and the network loss may be determined based on the difference, and the network loss may be reduced step by step through training to reduce the difference, so as to achieve the training purpose.

In one possible implementation, step S13 may include: determining a first network loss according to the first reconstruction result and the second reconstruction result; determining a second network loss from the second reconstructed image and the sample color image; and determining the comprehensive network loss according to the first network loss and the second network loss.

In one possible implementation, the first network loss may be determined based on the first reconstruction result and the second reconstruction result, and reducing the first network loss during the training may reduce a difference between the first reconstruction result and the second reconstruction result. The first reconstruction result and the second reconstruction result can both comprise a multi-level feature map and a reconstructed image, and the difference between the feature maps of the corresponding levels and the difference between the reconstructed images can be respectively determined so as to determine the first network loss.

In one possible implementation, the first reconstruction result may include n-level feature maps, the second reconstruction result may include m-level feature maps, m and n are positive integers, and m and n may be equal or unequal. Feature maps with the same resolution (i.e., feature maps with the same scale) may be selected from the first reconstruction result and the second reconstruction result, and the sub-losses of each stage may be determined based on the feature maps with the same resolution, for example, if the resolution of the first feature map at level 1 in the first reconstruction result is equal to the resolution of the second feature map at level 2 in the second reconstruction result, and the resolution of the first feature map at level 2 in the first intermediate result is equal to the resolution of the second feature map at level 4 in the second reconstruction result, then the first sub-loss may be determined based on the first feature map at level 1 in the first reconstruction result and the second feature map at level 2 in the second reconstruction result, and the first sub-loss may be determined based on the first feature map at level 1 in the first reconstruction result and the second feature map at level 2 in the second reconstruction result.

In an example, the first reconstruction result includes a number of levels of the first feature map equal to a number of levels of the second feature map included in the second reconstruction result, and the first feature map and the second feature map of each stage have equal resolutions. For example, the number of network levels of the decoding subnetworks of the first reconstruction network is equal to the number of network levels of the decoding subnetworks of the second reconstruction network, and the upsampling rate of each network level is equal. In this case, the first sub-penalties of the first and second feature maps may be determined separately for each level. In an example, the first sub-penalty may be determined based on a difference between the first feature map and a second feature map having the same resolution, e.g., the first sub-penalty may be determined based on a difference between a pixel value of each pixel point in the first feature map and a pixel value of a corresponding pixel point in the second feature map. The present disclosure does not limit the manner in which the first sub-loss is determined.

In one possible implementation, the first and second reconstruction results further include reconstructed images, respectively, and the first and second reconstructed images may have equal resolutions and may have equal resolutions to the sample color image. The second sub-loss may be determined based on a difference between the first reconstructed image and the second reconstructed image, e.g., the second sub-loss may be determined based on a difference between a pixel value of each pixel point in the first reconstructed image and a pixel value of a corresponding pixel point in the second reconstructed image. The present disclosure does not limit the manner in which the second sub-loss is determined.

In a possible implementation manner, the first sub-losses and the second sub-losses at each stage may be subjected to weighted summation processing to obtain the first network loss. In the training process, the loss of the first network is reduced, so that each level of feature map output by the first reconstruction network after the dynamic visual information is processed is closer to the feature map output by the second reconstruction network after the color image is processed, that is, the feature map corresponding to the dynamic visual information is closer to the feature map corresponding to the color image, and the reconstructed image obtained based on the dynamic visual information is closer to the real color image.

In a possible implementation manner, the training may make the feature map corresponding to the dynamic visual information and the feature map corresponding to the color image closer, and may also make the second reconstructed image output by the second reconstruction network by processing the color image closer to the real color image. By the method, the accuracy and the fidelity of the second reconstructed image can be improved, and then the accuracy and the fidelity of the first reconstructed image close to the second reconstructed image can be improved, namely, the first reconstructed image can obtain an accurate and vivid reconstructed image.

In one possible implementation, the second network loss may be determined based on a difference between the second reconstructed image and the true sample color image, for example, the second network loss may be determined based on a difference between a pixel value of each pixel point in the second reconstructed image and a pixel value of a corresponding pixel point in the sample color image. The present disclosure does not limit the manner in which the second network loss is determined.

In a possible implementation manner, the first network loss and the second network loss may be integrated, so that the first feature map output by the first reconstruction network can gradually approach the second feature map of the real sample color image in the training process, and the first reconstruction image output by the first reconstruction network can gradually approach the real sample color image.

In one possible implementation, determining the composite network loss according to the first network loss and the second network loss includes: and carrying out weighted summation processing on the first network loss and the second network loss to obtain the comprehensive network loss. Namely, the first network loss and the second network loss are weighted and summed, and the total network loss obtained by the weighted and summed is trained so that the total network loss is gradually reduced, that is, each stage of the first feature map is made to approach the corresponding second feature map, and the first reconstructed image is made to approach the second reconstructed image, and the second reconstructed image is made to approach the sample color image. That is, by reducing the difference between the first feature map and the feature map of the true sample color image, the first reconstructed image is made more realistic and accurate, that is, the first reconstructed image is made closer to the sample color image.

In a possible implementation manner, the training steps may be iteratively performed, and when a training condition is satisfied, the trained first reconstruction network and the trained second reconstruction network are obtained. The training conditions may include a training frequency condition, that is, when the above training steps are performed iteratively for a preset number of times, the training is completed. Alternatively, the training condition may include whether the integrated network loss is less than or equal to a preset threshold or converges to a preset interval, and the training may be completed if the integrated network loss is less than or equal to the preset threshold or converges to the preset interval.

In one possible implementation, the dynamic visual information may be processed through the trained first reconstruction network to generate a realistic and accurate color image.

In one possible implementation, the present disclosure also relates to an image generation method, including: and inputting the dynamic visual information of the preset scene acquired at a plurality of moments in a first time period into a first reconstruction network trained according to the neural network training method for processing, and generating a first color image corresponding to each dynamic visual information.

In an example, the length of the first time period may be equal to a time interval between two frames of color images (e.g., images or video frames) of the preset scene captured by the camera or the camera, or may be a time interval between multiple frames of color images of the preset scene captured. That is, the start-stop time of the first period may be the time when the color image is captured.

In another example, the start-stop time of the first time period may not be the time when the color image is acquired, and the length of the first time period may also be less than the time period between the two frames of color images acquired by the camera or the camera, so that only one frame of color image needs to be acquired in the first time period. The length and the starting time of the first time period are not limited by the present disclosure. For example, the start time of the first period may be before one frame of color image is captured, and the end time of the first period may be after one frame of color image is captured, and does not necessarily coincide with the time at which the color image is captured.

In one possible implementation, the method further includes: and obtaining a video of the preset scene in the first time period according to the first color image and a second color image of the preset scene obtained in the first time period, wherein the obtaining frequency of the dynamic visual information is higher than that of the color image. That is, the first color image generated by the plurality of dynamic visual information acquired in the first time period may complement the second color image captured in the first time period, that is, the number of color images acquired in the first time period may be increased, so that the time interval between the color images in the first time period may be shorter, and a more accurate video may be acquired. The observation and tracking effects of the target object in the preset scene are improved, for example, the motion and/or motion track of the acquired target object can be more accurate.

In a possible implementation manner, the second color image may not be captured in the first time period, and the plurality of first color images are generated only by the captured dynamic visual information, and constitute a video of the preset scene in the first time period. The present disclosure does not limit whether the second color image is photographed.

According to the neural network training method disclosed by the embodiment of the disclosure, the characteristic diagram corresponding to the dynamic visual information is closer to the characteristic diagram corresponding to the color image through training, and the second reconstructed image output by processing the color image through the second reconstruction network is closer to the real color image, that is, the accuracy and the fidelity of the second reconstructed image can be improved, so that the accuracy and the fidelity of the first reconstructed image close to the second reconstructed image can be improved. Because the frequency of the dynamic visual information is higher than the acquisition frequency of the color image, the acquisition frequency of the color image can be improved by processing the dynamic visual information through the first reconstruction network, the tracking of the motion track or the motion of a moving object is facilitated, and the tracking effect is improved.

Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an application of a neural network training method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, and as shown in fig. 2, a first reconstruction network and a second reconstruction network may be trained by sample dynamic visual information and sample color images of the same scene.

In one possible implementation, the decoding sub-network of the first reconstruction network includes three levels, and can output two levels of the first feature map and the first reconstructed image. The decoding sub-network of the second reconstruction network comprises three levels and can output two levels of second feature maps and second reconstruction images. And the resolution of each level of the first characteristic map is equal to that of the second characteristic map, and the resolution of the first reconstructed image, the resolution of the second reconstructed image and the resolution of the sample color image are equal.

In one possible implementation, the first sub-loss of the first stage 1 may be determined from a difference between the first stage first feature map and the first stage second feature map, and the first sub-loss of the second stage 2 may be determined from a difference between the second stage first feature map and the second stage second feature map.

In one possible implementation, the second sub-loss 3 may be determined based on a difference between the first reconstructed image and the second reconstructed image. The first network loss can be obtained by weighted summation of the first sub-loss (loss 1), the first sub-loss (loss 2) and the second sub-loss (loss 3).

In one possible implementation, the second network loss, loss4, may be determined from the difference between the second reconstructed image and the sample color image. And carrying out weighted summation on the first network loss and the second network loss to obtain the comprehensive network loss of the first reconstruction network and the second reconstruction network. In an example, the integrated network loss can be determined by the following equation 1:

Loss＝w₁×Loss₁+w₂×Loss₂+w₃×Loss₃+w₄×Loss₄ (1)

wherein, w₁、w₂、w₃And w₄Is a preset weight value.

In one possible implementation, the first reconstruction network and the second reconstruction network may be trained by synthesizing network losses, and the training may be completed when the synthesized network losses are less than or equal to a preset threshold or converge within a preset interval. The trained first reconstruction network can be used for processing the dynamic visual information to obtain a color image.

In one possible implementation, the neural network training method may be used to obtain a first reconstruction network capable of processing dynamic visual information to generate color images, and more color images may be generated by the first reconstruction network, such that the number of color images obtained within a predetermined time period is increased and the time interval of the color images is smaller, facilitating observation and tracking of the target. The present disclosure does not limit the application field of the neural network training method.
